Motherfuckers gonna fuck over a lot of other people’s mothers
I have to go to work on Monday unless I get sick or we’re told to stay home. The nature of what I do does not allow WFH for me. But for the foreseeable future, my schedule will be work and then home, with nothing other than gas station stops in between. I am relatively healthy. My neighbors and family members are not. I don’t want to kill someone because I felt the need to go to dinner or game night. Fuck that.
ETA: the tweet Kevin Kruse is referencing has been deleted, but here it is:
Can someone explain to me why people are hoarding toilet paper? Do these people plan to lock themselves at home long enough to run out of toilet paper, tissues, napkins, soap and water, but will somehow have enough food? What am I missing?
I have a Raspberry Pi rigged as a standalone WiFi access point. (Originally for spraying Queen’s Park with a Doug Ford wiki, but that’s out for the near future.)
I’m swapping out the wiki, and am probably going to set up a WordPress site, or something with open posting boards. With the high gain antenna, I should be able to cover the length of the street. SSID: “streetname Community Net” I probably won’t bridge it to the Internet, but I can load it up with local FAQs and information files. It has a battery pack good for 10 hours in case of outages, and if needed, I can switch it to a spare car battery.
People house-bound could ask for grocery “drop and dash” favours, other people could volunteer them. Let’s see what happens.
We do what we must because we can. (Besides, don’t ask me to sing.)
